Adjustments to School Mass

By Gaonou Lo

Once again Newman Catholic has started out at a great pace, even with all the reconfigurations.  There have been a few new arrangements in facilities and schedules; the high school schedule has been arranged so that it will not conflict with the middle school schedule.  One of these new arrangements is that we have mass every Wednesday instead of having it every other Thursday,. 

Many students have stated that Wednesday mass schedules are usually difficult to keep up.  Mass is in the middle of the week and when one is accustomed to memorizing the regular schedule, a sudden switch to a different one is hard to remember. 

Not everyone finds the Mass schedule difficult to remember however.  One student in particular feels like it is a good idea having Mass every Wednesday.  “It is good for our Catholic faith because it brings us closer to our school-mates,” said Julie Buttzlaff. 
           
Another factor that comes along with the changes is that instead of having one big Mass Music group it is split into three smaller groups due to its larger size.  We also have the privilege to have two priests, Father Bob and Father Michaud leading Mass this year due to the combining of the high school and middle school students. 

It might take some time to get accustomed to the Mass changes at Newman Catholic, but in the end it will be something the students are going to get used to.
